Re: M91 Mosin Nagant porn

The Finn stocks are so massive somehow. Just big ol' logs. Robust, I should say.

This one shows its share of scuffs and dents. Seein' as how the receiver is so old, I've constructed a life around this guy. He was built under the Czar when the Czar was young. As the Czar grew older and the dynasty began to lose its grip, this old guy probably defended Czarist stuff in the Revolution of 1906, or maybe saw service in the Japanese war then. He probably saw action in the Great War, up near Prussia. Then it probably made its way to Finland in a Russian's hands as Finland broke away from Russia during the Communist Revolution. He was captured, pried from the literally cold dead fingers of a frozen Russian lad--highly pitted, I'm guessing the fingers were just bones. Then he likely fought in the Winter War, and again in the Continuation War against the Soviets and for Finland. Then he was sold as scrap, collected a few times, and ended up in my safe.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. All's I can prove for sure is it's Finn captured, but what fun is that?

I have been wanting one of these, and should have picked one up when they were $120 all day long. But I heard prices are dropping again. At a recent gun show my cousin said they had them for around $150, and nice ones too. Not nearly as nice as yours Im sure.

This is just my opinion, yours may vary and is no less valid.

Finn mosin for $150 is a steal. Heck, a run of the mill 91/30 for $150 is a good deal anymore.

I got a Mosin today. Rather than start a new thread for yet another Mosin, I thought I’d revive this one.
I got it at Cabela’s in Tualatin. Paid $349 for it (yeah yeah...I know they went for $99 in the day...sigh).

This one is a M91/30 with a production date stamp of 1937. Can anyone tell me what the other markings mean?

I took it to right to the range and got the only two boxes of 7.62x54R left on the shelves (Hornady, 2800 FPS). At 100 yards it shot high and to the right on the first target and then after adjustment more or less correct elevation but still to the right on the second string. Kicks pretty good...are these loads maybe too hot for this rifle?

As for it shooting to the right, Vintovka Mosina were meant to be fired with the bayonet affixed so that may be much of your problem. Drift the front sight a bit to correct it. The Hornady rounds won't be too hot for that beast. I use 147gr Russian surplus or PPU 180 gr. If you're into reloading the PPU has good brass and boxer primers.

LOL The info on that receiver billboard calling it a Tula when it's really an Izhevsk .

Damn, $349 for a refurb with a billboard import mark. I'm sitting on a gold mine

Check out 7.62x54R.net for all sorts of information

Edit: I just saw the photos you posted on NWFA. The sling escutcheons on your rifle are pre-war (you can tell by the little screws), unusual on post war refurbs but not unknown, so the stock may be original to the rifle. I have a 1938 in a post-war laminate stock with pressed in escutcheons and plenty of Ivan's Flaky Red™ shellac.

I overpaid at Cabelas?? Say it ain’t so!! :laugh:
I knew I wasn’t getting a deal, but it’s ok. On NWFA they said Cabelas had them in right now, so I figured why not?
Thank you for taking the time to enlighten me about the stamps. I’m not a collector. I just want a decent shooter, so I don’t care a lot about rarity or collectibility, but the Tula stamp when it’s not one does suck a little. I’ll try those sight adjustments.

Let me know if you want to try out other Mosins or Mausers. I have multiple models and, as far as Mausers, multiple calibers. Then you can compare.

1944 M44 and 1940 M91/30 still in the boxes with cosmoline. I got these fairly cheap in years gone by... Keeping them for retirement. I have a T-53 for plinking.

1920 Izhevsk Dragoon. It has Finnish [SA] so it's been through the mill; Civil war, Talvisota, and probably Continuance War

My oldest Mosin, a Tula PTG M1891 made in 1917. This one has seen use in the Balkans; the Imperial eagles have been peened off.

If he wants to find another way to drop some cash on that build, I can highly recommend the McGowan prefit barrels for the Mosin- mine now shoots .25-.33 inch groups with my reloads
